Long Ride Sunday

Sunday morning was a mess. Nemo and I were going to meet at 8:00 at Highbanks to run the hills. I got home late and pushed it to 9:30. Nemo decided to run 13 with MD first and then meet me but MD was late so…nevermind.

I did the first loop at Highbanks slowly. My legs were a little sore from the long run on Saturday and still tender from some weight training. Nemo ran into me about 3 miles into the loop and paced me through the 2nd loop. He is running strong. Actually, he wanted to push the pace but I didn’t try to stay with him so he eventually figured out I wasn’t going to race him today. Probably a good thing, I would have gotten crushed.

MD met me at my place for a little ride. It was about 30 degrees but the sun would occasionally peak out and the wind wasn’t too bad. All things considered, in February, it was a good day to ride outside. I couldn’t handle one more 6-hour day at Life Time fitness. The destination was Milford Center and back. There is a little convenience store / gas station in Milford center so we fuelled up and returned. The wind was a little stronger than I thought. It was a 25-minute negative split on the way home.

As a side note, since Thursday last week, I’ve been craving junk food. J-Fo had me take him through Sky Line Chili and I started ranting about all the junk I wanted to eat. I’ve been craving all the following:

Dairy Queen Chocolate Blizzard with M&Ms and Reeeses
Mc Donald Hamburgers and Quarter Pounder
Sausage Biscuit and Gravy
Mini Snickers
Sausage Patties (by the dozen)

Well, I got my treat. While I was in Lima picking up my truck, my Dad took me to Happy Daz and I got a big burger with everything on it. Good stuff!
